Title: If I may input about races (and donations),
Post by: Spades_Neil on 27-05-2012
In most of our RP, the core focus is around humans. Mutants, animals, mythical beings, were all options for donators. That was fine because the focus was mainly around humans.

Such is not the case in Star Wars.


Star Wars has a very rich variety of sentient alien beings. It would be a really good idea if we did something differently for a change, in that we gave a selection of different non-human races that every player could start as, without being a donator, so as to deeply enrich the roleplay. Unlike non-human races in our other servers, there's no distinct advantage that needs to be policed by donating.

Provided not all should be open obviously, as we need something to market to players to keep a small income of donation cash to help HGN pay for its bills. However, there's a ton of stuff otherwise at our disposal that we should utilize. Droids, Space Pirates, Mercenaries and Bounty Hunters, those could still be donors. Yet, the day-to-day races that we meet in the galactic community should be open to all players so long as we have the resources to add them to the game (such as models).



Anyway there's my thoughts on the matter. I'd like your opinions.

Agreed, they should have applications, very strict applications.

Jedi/Siths themselves should either be event only, or restricted to highly trusted people, with a max of 1-2 on each side.

How about no special donation flags for Star Wars?

Just make experienced, veteran, etc. flags for donors.
And ofc add the usual wildlife flags.

Imo no race should be donator only. Rarer races could be controlled with apps. As for the donations they could be like in SRP (Merc etc.)

That's what I was thinking, in a nutshell.

Star Wars is too diverse a universe to just limit it to humans.

Agreed, it would be odd to only see Humans, though what about making some standard races free to choose and others not, for example Botians and Chiss, Twi'lek could be free for all to pick but Wookie's are rarer (They are after almost being wiped out by the empire.)

Races such as Wookies,Transdoshians,Killiks, or something along the lines of that should have atleast 2 admin authorizations for it. Same goes along for people being being mercs,bounty hunters and Mandalorians. And Recreas what's a Botian?

The question is if every race is application-only...

How does Silver make money to keep the server up?


P.S.  - Can we get rid of the autoplay, please? It's... REALLY annoying regardless of what's being played.

Ask for general donations? It's not hard really, honestly the special flags to people who donate on ANY RP severs is plain stupid because it gives some players an advantage over other such as SRP donate 20$ get a Stalker suit and weapons.

They're near-human.

Here's my idea:

Pick something else to make them donate for.

Well, like said before, Wildlife or near wild would simply be a good idea to put up as donator status. Who doesn't want to play as an Ewok O_o....
But about experienced mecenary... it's again, pay 20 bucks and get suited up. The reason why most people donate for SRP and FORP is because they
can play bloodsuckers, Mutants and etc. A special creature with special powers, there's the problem. When it comes to Star Wars, those creatures play a took big role to just assign to anyone with some spare cash in his/her wallet.

Well you could always make some of the powerful ones donator only and also you'd have to apply. This application could be done before donating so you would know if you can use the species you donate for, or something similiar.

To be blunt there's also no indication that the server needs donations at all. I used to be part of a nice Flight Sim community that needed like a few hundred bucks for their website because they didn't want any more annoying adverts. In a matter of days they met their goal amount.

Then, flight sim servers like the 104th Squadron run on donations too but without any sort of benefits for donors. It's a matter of communicating it, in my opinion. Also not looking corrupt and wasting donor money or seeming money hungry helps too.

To answer some of your questions the way i am currently looking at doing things is having common races around our system free, others which are uncommon or rarer races like wookies, jawa's and such will be a donation race. As for the SRP-FRP layout with bandit-merc-stalker i may do the same trio. Jedi\Sith Will be application only, i am considering wether or not it should be treated as a faction or a solo-act like traders.

I'm 100% sure you wouldn't see a Jawa off Tatoonie. But I would mind the experience Bounty Hunter/ merc flags as long as they aren't the only way you can be one.

Jedi should be a faction.
Sith should be a very small faction.

EDIT: Sith without a faction are just Dark Jedi.

Just no.  The Jedi haven't yet begun a resurgence in the galaxy. Most of your real Jedi are either Order 66 survivors or they're still hiding, so you wouldn't expect them to be suddenly be popping up on planets in the Unknown regions. Secondly the planet we're going to be on will have a STRONG Remnant presence so being an active Jedi will most likely to get your ass killed if you pull a lightsaber out or force push someone. The Sith are much for strong than the Jedi during this timeline, so seeing them as a small faction is bad and suggesting they be a faction is stupid too.

Obi-Wan and Yoda are both examples of Jedi that survived Order 66, and the Sith were created when the Empire came to power. Sith have existed for a long time, but they just keep coming back and back. If the Sith had a hold over the Warlord that commands the Remnant in this timeline, they would be the commanders of the military, I believe.

Sith were not killed during Order 66, this is why Anakin Skywalker was able to survive and become Darth Vader, of the Sith Order.

Actually most if not all Sith that were around during the Clone Wars were pretty much spared. Take note Order 66 was to kill ALL the Jedi. Dark Siders and Sith were spared either because they served Palpy or weren't Jedi really. Hell during the Great Jedi Purge 100% of the Force users killed were in fact Jedi, and Dark Side Adepts and Sith were spared either because they served Palpy as evidence of the Inquistors and Emperor's hands, along with apprentices Vader taunt during his life or they just weren't found.

1. This thread was not to discuss the Jedi/Sith topic, just pointing out,

Next is that Jedi if we may look at the games like Jedi Knight show that Luke Skywalker had started a Jedi Training Facility, so it is possible to have some jedi, not strong since not even Luke knows a lot about the force at all. But Padawan level non the less, Sith on the other hand if I am correct (Star Wars wiki site) were trained my palpatine in secret facilities. It just all depends on the planet, would both sides/factions be willing to spend a lot of resources on it, or only a handfull of Sith/Jedi.

But yes, Jedi/Sith should definetly be application only, probably even limited to Force-Sensetive where there will be one/two master, these force sensetives can't use their force powers for shit untill they learn (Maybe use the Mage concept from Crussaria?)

True, but still the news of the rebellions victory would be heard by many, and some of the Star Wars games do show an organised group of Jedi.

In regards any groups of Jedi hiding were able to mask their presence in the force thus making it impossible for Palpy to sense them out and have Vader go after them. A good example of large of Jedi going wrong was the Conclave on Kessel where Vader and company curbed stomped the Jedi there. But most Jedi wouldn't suddenly Rise up from their hiding places after hearing of Rebellion Victories I mean sure you had some in the Rebellion or those who joined out of spite and such but most of your survivors wouldn't dare make themselves know in the force.

This is a good idea, so back on topic.  I think that Wookies and some other major races should be donor only.

Quick question. who gives a FUCK about Jedi. the thread isn't even about fucking Jedi or sith we've somehow turned it into a Jedi and sith thread we need to get on track and talk about donation shit, and jedi and sith are *Looks at previous posts* Not donor shit. Talk about donor shit

This is a good idea, so back on topic.  I think that Wookies and some other major races should be donor only.
Yes, lets totally force players to be a select few races while the people who donate can be a Twi'lek, Chiss, or Mirialan. This has to be the STUPIDEST thing suggested here I've seen some retarded things on other forums and such but this just, WAT.

Yeah making common races donator only would be a stupid thing to do. Rare races and wildlife (and I still think the way it's in SRP is good that you can donate for better start gear) are the way to go.

Agree with you there, we should do it the other way around gamerhead. Make a lot of major races free for everyone to choose and the more rarer races like Wookies donator only (Wookies are rare in the timeline? if not, its an example
).

Silverknight has already stated he has planned to only make rare races donator along with the usual experienced/veteran/master donator flags.

Hey people, and you know who you are, tone it down. This is 'input' right? Well verging a flame warzone is far from GOOD input. Keep it on track and take your squabbles to PM or GVC.

I say leave donations completely out on this server, at least for a bit. Just see how it works. Though, Im not saying make everything accessible for everyone, make a few things (Such as Wookies, Jedi, and other 'rarer' things) require auths/forum apps.

I'm just suggesting try something different, leave out donations for the first few weeks so the server can have a population of varying species.

((Personally, I think donations are a little mean, because I know that I would love to donate to the servers, mainly FORP as of now, but I have litterally, NO spare cash. Every dime I make is going to the bills. I hate being a month behind on everything...))

Second on the delay donations thing.
A lot of initial tweaking will probably happen to balance all the races and such out.

Let people have anything for free first, then make the most popular things donator only.
Its like a timed trial!

This is a bad idea, then we have newbies and summerfags complaining about donation fees.
Make things non-donation for a temp. span benefits oldfags only and while I love self-gratification just as much as everyone else, this is retarded.

Serious discussion here... besides that ^ was not funny at all :/

On a more serious note, I agree with ragolution. It's either going to bring a big mess or only a spam of temporary players because after their "trial" has finished they quit.
Whilst I'm sure we'd rather have 5 permanent players enjoying the roleplay then a bunch of kiddos coming here because they wanna run around as a wookie.
